Memories & Candles

I first met Gary on the sidewalk outside my sister's house in Columbus as Nancy and he arrived from Fort Wayne for the celebrations prior to Scott and Rachna's wedding. Even though I had not seen his picture before, I instantly recognized him as he beamed widely when I greeted them. Few people have the gift of leaving an indelible stamp of warmth and love on even a fleeting acquaintance and that as I discovered over the next five days

I first met Gary on the sidewalk outside my sister's house in Columbus as Nancy and he arrived from Fort Wayne for the celebrations prior to Scott and Rachna's wedding. Even though I had not seen his picture before, I instantly recognized him as he beamed widely when I greeted them. Few people have the gift of leaving an indelible stamp of warmth and love on even a fleeting acquaintance and that as I discovered over the next five days was quintessential Gary - a man who exuded love and smiled all the time, marveled at the Indian traditions, participated in them wholeheartedly and enjoyed every minute of the cultural adventure he had embarked on as he welcomed his daughter-in-law with exuberant joy. My husband, Lee and Gary struck it off from the start as they shared a passion for golf and we were looking forward to hosting him in California so, they could hit the green together. The world sure is an emptier place without you, Gary but you will live on eternally because those you loved are all the richer and blessed and have inherited or imbibed that loving spirit from you and will continue to live it and share it.

Gary, From the first day I met you, you always made me feel comfortable and welcome. You treated me like your own son and had the trust in me to take care of your daughter. You were like a father to me and I loved you like you were my own. You were a great husband, father, brother, son, uncle, ect.. but you were the best grandpa. Willow loved and adored you so much. I promise to you that she

I promise to you that she will grow up with memories and stories of you and she will know how much you loved her. She will know how PERFECT you always said she was! You will be missed but never forgotten and we will all see you again!

Nancy,
Have a lot of good memories of Gary. He talked often of his family with great joy. He was very proud of his kids and talked about life after retirement with you and Key West.
I will miss him but never forget him and his big smile!

May the LORDS PEACE be with you,
Bruce
